We love Collings guitars, and this little number is a lot of fun to play. Get your Leslie West/Johnny Thunders on! The guitar has some wear to the body, some "Worming" in the finish on the back (see pics) but no major stuff, just honest playing wear. The guitar has had a fresh set up here at the shop, as well as a new bone nut and the frets show only minor wear. Overall this guitar plays and sounds great and is ready to work for a living once again. For a complete run down on the condition of this guitar we recommend that you call us here at the shop for a detailed hands on description.

Sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Featuring a single Lollar high wind dog ear P90 pickup, the 290 DC S® offers unhindered access to all 22 frets and a wide range of tonal possibilities. Subtle manipulations of the volume and tone controls offer pristine clean tones to deep, warm jazz sounds and everything in between. There are few bases the 290 DC S® cannot cover.
